Reviews for El Coyote in Queens, NY
Been here about a half dozen times. With either friends or dates. Food, drink, and service are always good. Bar service is... great. There's room for a party towards the back. The prices are great. Don't have to cringe when the bill comes Read more
I've been to El Coyote many times before. It's a good size restaurant with seating in and out. A staple in Jackson Heights, ... I've enjoyed their churrasco , cochinita pibil, enchiladas, guacamole and defininitely the mojitos. I also love the music(usually salsa) and on Fridays mariachis. Their staff is courteous but not as attentive as one would like (,one would be me). Myhubby loves this place because of the churrasco so,naturally this is where he wanted to go for his birthday. He ordered hischurrasco with ripe plantains and to be different (I don't know why), I ordered the mariscada (mixed seafood in a green sauce)with rice and beans and an agua de tamarindo (tamarind juice) because I couldn't drink (on antibiotics don't ask why) . Anywho,I thought the mixed seafood dish would be grilled and accompanied by a sauce. There was no description of the dish besides thelist of the type of seafood being served. I was looking forward to it until I saw what arrived. It was a seafood soup. Notsauce. Soup.Nowhere in the menu did it say soup. I dont like ordering soup on a regular day let alone during a heatwave in NY.Nevertheless, I gave it a shot. As I was sweating like I was on a threadmill eating this soup, I couldn't help but want the meatmy hubby was devouring. Unfortunately the seafood was not fresh and very fishy. Perhaps if I would've been enjoying a fewmojitos I wouldn't have cared. Thank goodness my hubby fed me some of his delicious churrasco, always well seasoned, tender andjuicy. I also enjoyed their fresh guacamole and chips. No seafood for me at El Coyote but will definitely be back for somecoconut mojito and some churrasco. Read more

If you are looking for traditional Mexican cuisine with a matching atmosphere. Look no further. What more can you ask for, when... there is even a mariachi band playing while you eat. The staff was always friendly and made sure your dining experience wasenjoyable. The food was excellent; I plan to return soon. Read more

Came here in Halloween after trick or treating with my son. Food was average and lacked in flavor, I’ve had much better tacos... at the trucks. Service was really slow but decent. I didn’t order any cocktails but they looked amazing and many other patronswere ordering them. I would not return, once was enough. Read more
